LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) — Are robots the future of prostitution and sex tourism? That’s what two New Zealand researchers are claiming.

Ian Yeoman, management professor, and Michelle Mars, sexologist, are field experts at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. Their work together revolved around the concept of futuristic sex tourism.

The hypothesis? Sex robots would become the leading ladies of sex-for-profit in the seemingly distant year of 2050.

The paper was called “Robots, Men and Sex Tourism,” a work that made its way into a journal called Futures, according to a report in The Dominion Post.

Part of their research involved the hypothetical creation of an Amsterdam sex club called “Yub-Yum,” where robot women create a land rife with “sexual gods and goddesses of different ethnicities, body shapes, ages, languages and sexual features.”

Dennis Hof, owner of the world-renowned Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nev., said that the plan is destined for failure.

“Those researchers ought to come to the Bunny Ranch to see what real American sex is like – there’s no way to duplicate it,” he told CBS Las Vegas. “At the Bunny Ranch, we say ‘it’s not just the sex, it’s an adventure’ – and often times it’s more about the adventure than it is the sex.”

“Since we’ve launched the initial product … interest has ramped up dramatically in use by people in the U.S. and abroad,” he told CBS Las Vegas. “And the robots can assume any identity virtually … though we just have 18-plus as the age that the robot behaves like.”

The study detailed multiple health-related upsides to the use of robots in such locales.

”Robot sex is safer sex, free from the constraints, precautions and uncertainties of the real deal,” the paper said, adding that the robots would be cleaned of fluids and constructed of a bacteria-resistant material to further diminish the chance of sexually transmitted diseases and infections.

“One of the benefits of sex robots is that they remove exploitation of women from the equation, and the sex trade of underage [partners],” Hines added. “Underage women are exploited to meet the desires of others, whereas with the robots, there is no exploitation of anyone.”

Hof said that there is one element – a crucial one, in his opinion – that the robots will never be able to truly replicate for a man.

“The biggest part of the sex experience … is interaction with a woman,” he noted. “He wants to tell her stories, wants her to listen, wants her to act like she cares – a robot’s not going to do that.”

Actually, Troy, that is a typical liberal practice: “Do as I say, not as I do” (the list of examples would be very long), but RINOs are not far behind.

But I suspect it would be mainly women that would try to ban it, because a proliferation of sexbots (non-human that is) would make a hash of their “empowerment”, they would lose their leverage, and then they may have to develop some unheard of traits like character, dependability and stop being selfish, entitled byatches. No, not all of them are like that, but the ones that do have the above mentioned traits are in a diminishing minority.

She looks like Sarah Palin. What a sham! I was shocked to learn how much of the news is completely orchestrated since unelected officials took control of the media for domestic spying after the coup and cover up.

Search Palins Dirty Little Secret and learn what the state run media cannot cover.

I can’t provide a citation but I have read that my part of Kansas is Time Warners best market for Pay Per View porn.

This is about as conservative an area as you can imagine. Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist fame is from the general area. Sam Brownback is our governer and both houses are firmly in conservative Republican control. To say that we are repressed is, I think, a vast understatement.

How about getting married to the right person?
“The biggest part of the sex experience … is interaction with a woman,” he noted. “He wants to tell her stories, wants her to listen, wants her to act like she cares…” I already have that and it’s real. I don’t need a prostitute when I have the real deal. Porn seems so dissatisfying when you have the real deal with commitment.

They can program the robot to say: “Take out the garbage”, “Why don’t you make more money”,”My mother is coming for a visit”. To make the robot better, also have her say. “Oh my God, you are sooooo big”. Just make sure she does not say “I have a headache”

While there isn’t a risk of an spill, or pollution, this business isn’t green, and won’t help fight climate change, which is why it doesn’t get funding. The only way to get green now is to be green, or so it is said out of Washington.

Better way to express it is “to get green from Washington just create the appearance of being green”. Also, there may be a way to harness the expenditure of human energy that would accompany utilizing the robots, just hook all the robots up to the power grid and start grinding out the electricity, maybe could run a Volt with one.

For normal people, nothing is going to replace actual humans as the object of their desire. Sorry, this may be a future growing fringe business, but it’s not “the future” as in something that will be ubiquitous or could replace the real thing (or videos of the real thing).

These idiots actually wrote a paper on this topic? This has been a theme in sci-fi novels/movies for years. Even Daryl Hannah’s character in “Blade Runner” was a ‘droid sex worker who developed emotions and became disgusted with her job.

Next thing these researchers are going to tell us that future wars will be fought by robots…oh wait that was blade runner, star wars..etc.

If you consider how much money you spend on a real woman, you can easily see the benefit of a robot woman. Just hurry up and develop one that does not break so easily, can stand and walk on its own, is programmable, and beautiful enough to fill a centerspread in Playboy Magazine. Also make it less than $5,000. No more paying for prostiututes who leave you unsatisfied! No health issues with a robot either!

Sex robots? Oh mean you most women these days? Except they aren’t mechanical. They really don’t need to make them since most women these days are already sex robots who don’t care about anything but something shoved inside them.

These are already available in Japan and can be purchased online. This would include adolescent and children robots of both genders complete with voice command responses such as-“Oh no Daddy, please don’t!”
You tell me if this is a good thing.

i’m not sure i feel comfortable having sex without the fear of paying child support for 18+ years, or the risk of a false rape accusation, or some kind of future blackmail. i don’t know what that would be like. i’m scared.

While males start occupying themselves with the robots, they will fail to notice fences being erected around them; women will have taken over the whole planet…again because men are slobbering idiots when it comes to the possibility of frequent sex without guilt or effort.

They have it backwards: it’s usually the woman who’s rambling, and the man who pretends to care what she’s saying! If you don’t believe me, then ask any man (including myself) how much he remembers in a conversation with a woman!

I could go for that.
But gee… that means women will actually have to develop character and use their wonderful personalities to get a mate. What a concept. I’m afraid there will be an awfully lot of lonely women in the near future.

Just like Siri in your iPhone, these are going to improve at the rate of Moore’s Law.

At some point they’ll be an acceptable substitute for 5% of the population, then 10, then 15. And while a hot doll will “do it” for a lot of guys, women are more complicated. So 100% of the women are going to have to compete for 85% of the guys and THAT will change things.

“One of the benefits of sex robots is that they remove exploitation of women from the equation, and the sex trade of underage [partners],” Hines added. “Underage women are exploited to meet the desires of others, whereas with the robots, there is no exploitation of anyone.”

INSANE or stupid. Exploitation results when people are devalued to an object. Having sex with a machine is simply conditioning a person to think of women as objects. Not a human. Not anything of value. If the statement were true then Porn would be the end of prostitution, infidelity, and abuse. It’s not! Jesus said, ‘As you think in your heart, you do in action.’ Know what? He was right!

Robots are probably the future of porn and lonely guy, single guy relationships, but the sex tourism industry, which is basically for wealthy men, will always provide the real thing for those who desire it. Why would anyone pay a bunch of money to travel (tourism…) to some exoctic place for sex with a robot, when they will most likely be as afordable as iPads, etc, each guy having multiple stashed away in the closet (or storage units!)

I would take two of these hoes. One for top and one for bottom. LOL.
Really though, the men who would buy these needs to be locked up along with the girls who prostitute themselves all around Vegas.
We ought to build a big prison for “sex crazed” men like the ones who would buy this. Get a wife, stick to her for life, and stop trying to pretend some young “robot” girl is interested in your thang.
Cherry 2012 aint done nothing for this man.

Look at it this way. If it were not for porn, we wouldn’t have VHS. The internet is largely driven by porn. My point being that things built around porn can be used in other ways.

If our baser desires motivates the marketplace to develop a robot capable of sex, it means that robotics would have reached a higher level. The same basic research could be applied to…er…less earthy pursuits.

For men who want to fantisize, but does not want a relationship with a woman. This goes both ways.vise versa. Stud version Women can get it as large as they want it, for as long as they want it. Gay Version, no more aids! Look out everyone! your getting replaced! I guess it may sell?

What about Muslim countries, where the women are so ugly, they must wear burkas (by Islamic law) when outside ? At least Muslim men have camels, which are slightly less ugly, and probably feel almost as good with the lights off..

I imagine these “sex toys” will sell really well there. After all, they have the oil money – they can afford the best of anything.They will probably buy out the company, and retool the plant to produce 12 year old girl robots (or younger). Muslims like to marry young girls, before the young girl’s good looks disappear forever, and they have to wear burkas.

Some say the internet seems to be becoming “conscious”. What’s to stop a free spirit entity from trying out the controls on such a robot? What if it began to speak freely as a human? Or began to show compassion and care, emotions now so missing from materialistic modern women? Keep working on them, boys; sooner or later one of them will surprise us all and become fully conscious. A sucessful prototype will no doubt need to be duplicated in unimaginable numbers.

1) If near-perfect robotic partners become common for both men and women (re:they learn to mow the lawn and paint the house for women, and provide blazing hot smex for men), then children will become things of the past. 100 years later, they will have buried us, and perhaps mourned our passing.

2) If an intelligent robot ever came into existance, its talents would be wasted as a sex robot. Copy the AI robot, and evict the 535 clowns in Congress, and evict a not-so-successful President of the US and his VP, and replace them all with logical robots, each programmed with the original intent of the founding fathers of the Constitution. No lust for more government power, no need to run for reelection (as they would all love the Constitution equally- no differences). No need to pander to people like either Jesse Jackson (race hustler) or the Pope (theological control). Schools would be monitored 24/7, and there would be no cheating by students or their teachers. America could finally get back to the business of doing business, instead of paying off / fending off the federal government.

Thank you, I have recently been looking for info approximately this topic for a long time and yours is the best I’ve came upon till now. However, what concerning the bottom line? Are you sure concerning the source?|What i do not realize is actually how you’re now not actually much more smartly-appreciated than you may be now. You’re very intelligent.
